Congratulations to everyone who will or have completed their 60 Miles in October. we had an even bigger crowd this month. I know for me it really moved the scale. Are you ready for NOVEMBER . For those of you who do not know, this challenge is for EVERYONE who does any type of walking (I prefer Leslie Sansone Walk Away the pounds) just add your ticker like mine (see below) and update it as well as this forum when you've completed 1..2..3..miles ect.(See the October Walk Challenge for examples). The challenge starts November1st and ends November 30th so that gives us 30 days to get 60 miles done. CAN WE DO IT AGAIN!!!!

How did the fun run go, DawnH?

Have a great week!

I have been so much better since I've been exercising. The weight is not falling off, but I can tell in my pant size. I've actually gone down one size in the past month.

How did the fun run go, DawnH?

It was fun and I finished the race not at the end so that was good. I jogged some, walked some and I was satisfied because there were some active duty military even behind me . I don't get sore on the treadmill anymore but man the front of my thighs and my abs were killing me for 2 days. It was really weird how jogging on the ground versus the treadmill uses different muscles. I wasn't expecting that. Anyways, thanks so much for asking!

I got an hour and 20 min of walking in on Sunday. It was beautiful here! I got some walking in on Friday too!

2.8 miles on the treadmill today

Hey everybody,

Question for you - how are you managing "body recovery" from practically non-stop exercise almost daily for this month? This challenge is doing wonders for me and I am so glad to participate; in 2 weeks I've lost 1lb (thought it would be more, but I guess it's coming). I'm finding deep muscle and spinal pain from the rigorous workout (with walking videos). I'm trying to get in 2-3 miles per day, but now am mixing it up to reduce the stress on my body. I may do 2 miles in the morning, then 1 mile at night. Or I might just do 1 mile period for that day to alleviate the body stress. I am very sore in the deep muscles and don't want to damage anything.

I'd love to know how are you managing this?

p.s. Got 2 miles in this morning and planning on another mile this evening!

ANOTHER 2 MILES ON THE TREADMILL TODAY!!!!

I'm on track to finish a week early so I don't have to work at it over vacation!!! I still want to get some exercise in though, because it's really helping me drop the lbs!! I don't want vacation to slow me down! When I entered my weight in fitbit this morning, it told me I'm on schedule to reach my goal weight by Christmas Eve next year!! While I hope to do better than that - it's great to think of that as my Christmas present to myself!!

5 Big Miles!

JaGo~ I'd say go easier than you have been to give your body time to build up and so you don't injure yourself. 3 miles of the walk away the pounds in a day might be too much for you. The 1 mile WATP dvd 2 times a day would probably be gentler on your body than the 2 miles dvd at one time.

Listen to your body.

Joan,

I think you may be right, I will slow it down. Thanks for the advice!! I'll let you know how it goes. I guess I was trying to be an over-achiever...not good!
